Design is our passion and our pride. We would never think of outsourcing any creative parts of a project. This may mean a consistency in the look & feel of every design, and by looking through the portfolio you'll also be able to get a very good idea of the style we'll be working under for your project. 

For the past 14 years, we have worked for some of the largest brands in the world, and we can apply this expertise and knowledge to make sure that a design is not just a design, but a part of an entire branding campaign. We think that the word "branding" has been diluted and confused with mere style of a design. We know from experience that it is much more than that, and constructing a successful branding campaign means looking at the entire communication channel of a company, and the current marketing initiatives and laying out a comprehensive plan to make every part of a brand more memorable. 

A typical design project may take about a week to two weeks, depending on the following factors:

• Complexity of the design
• Number of revisions
• Number of templates
• Number of stakeholders / decision makers

Through experience, we know that the single most important factor in determining the length of a design project is the number of revisions, or "iterations." Because of the time between each review, it could go well past the usual two weeks. 

During each project, we explain each step before the process begins, and have a thorough "pre-design" session to make sure each creative direction is explored before a single comp is designed.

A typical design process can take many shapes and forms, but usually it consists of a series of design "rounds" or reviews, where the concepts get horned and polished towards the final design. 

Here's a typical step-by-step plan for a "Premium" design package:

• Pre-design consultation
• Review of reference samples
• Initial concepts
• Review of concepts
• Revision: round 1
• Review & update
• Revision: round 2
• Review & update
• Final revisions & approval

Each of the reviews take place over web conference, so all parties can look at the "comps" and discuss what's working, and what needs to be revised. At this stage, we ask that every stakeholder be involved, so that each round can build a meaningful consensus towards the final design. 

Collaborating in a positive, meaningful way is the only way to create designs that are truly outstanding. We involve your input in every step, listening to the feedbacks and trying out suggestions or ideas. We think that there's nothing more valuable in the creative process than constructive, honest, and timely input. 

Of course, it is true that we take our work very seriously. However, that doesn't mean we don't recognize this as an open, 2-way street. Better feedback and input means we are able to take the design that even we didn't know it could go, resulting in a partnership that have culminates in some of our best work. 

When you're working with us, you'll always feel that you're part of the team, and that we're listening and responding to your input throughout the course of the project. We welcome differences in ideas and opinions, and have learned over the years that often those differences are some of the most valuable feedback we could have asked for. 

A design project's price can vary, but we tried our best to put together a set of packages that will give you a start. Do note that each project's case is different, and it may be more or less than the suggested estimates. Usually, the complexity of a design and/or the actual number of templates to be designed determine the biggest variations on the project's schedule.

However, just as a simple base figure, our typical design projects are around $1,500~$2,000. Please take a look at our Packages page for details. 

Absolutely. We're aware of some agencies or freelancers who will not release the final "production" files, but certainly not us. In fact, we take pride in preparing our files to the highest standards, with individually layered and named layers and folders for easy maintenance.

Maintenance and expansion are steps just as important as the initial launch. We make sure to create each design in a modular and flexible way, to make that process easier. 

Also, we take pride in meticulously prepare individual Photoshop or other "production" files so that even if the future designs are done by another company or freelancer (or even DIY!), those projects can be smoothly transitioned with minimal fuss. We've seen far too many files come to us from previous designers that were not adequately prepared, and it inevitably results in either higher cost or longer time. We make sure that doesn't happen with our designs. 

In terms of price, there are special discounted rates available for every client after the first project. We are especially grateful for those clients who stay with us, and would like to maintain and grow our relationship. We want to thank them by offering this special rate. Please contact us for more information. 

We think that good design is independent of platforms. Although we love ExpressionEngine and would recommend it over a number of other (worthy) choices, we simply try to create designs that would work on any system. 

For example, we've designed a number of projects in Flash, WordPress, and in the past, for Drupal and Joomla as well. While it is true that each system requires different considerations in how the overall layout works, our designs transfer well over different platforms, or even media, even in those cases where the design needs to be extended over business cards, stationary, or even t-shirts or mugs.
